Pack up some water, a hiking stick, and bug spray and put on your favorite clamdiggers!

By the end of the decade over 700 Girl Scouts visited the property. In its hay day, the camp could house 100 campers and 28 staff members for each two-week session! 10:00 a.m., Meet at The Campground Store, 123 Northshore Road, Bantam, CT. The hike is limited to 20 guests. Please pre-register :
